For Hertzberg, it's a reprise of the role he played for Carmen Trutanich four years ago. The co-executive directors of the transition team are Miriam Aroni Krinsky, former president of the city Ethics Commission, and Alex Ponder, a longtime deputy to Feuer. Also of note: Feuer's communications director is Rob Wilcox, who was formerly in City Hall East with Laura Chick when she was controller and who went north with Chick during the Schwarzenegger years in Sacramento.
